About Mrs. Hancocks

How manners training can make the difference…

Etiquette is the tool we use to teach kindness, consideration, proper grammar, posture; social grace, confidence, character lessons and more. At Mrs. Hancock’s we believe good manners are not mere actions but a reflection of one’s self-respect, respect for others; level of confidence, self-esteem and success. That’s why we teach children and adults to master these important skills and apply them to everyday life!

Children really respond to our presence and our teachings! You’ll see and feel immediate changes, a new found sense of purpose and direction and, notice a happier day-to-day existence in your Children; once they understand that they do have some control over how their days move forward.

Your family might simply wish for an intermediary to sit with your Children to discuss varying issues that are clearly becoming problems in the home. As parents we understand that you’re inured in the daily running of your household. As your “etiquette-nanny”, we can be objective about what we see and any information you share with us about your Children helps.

Your family is a TEAM

We help offer Children a sense of personal awareness and confidence and the understanding that their family is a TEAM. This information oft times will, on its own, help children garner a sense of kindness and consideration toward other family members and more times than not, is better coming from someone other than a parent or family member.

Our customized children's etiquette programs offer age-appropriate instruction designed to build self-confidence and leadership qualities that will last a lifetime; ensuring real world success. With our Design-A-Program, we can build the perfect set of classes to cover what you deem most important. Or, you may consider a one-time visit; it's up to you and we come to you!

Corporate and Adult Training

For Adults, we offer customized business etiquette programs that will help you (and/or your staff), rise above the competition. This training and new skill set affords adults a sense of personal awareness, confidence and an understanding of the importance of proper business and social etiquette training. Adults feel better after spending time with us and typically walk away having the true knowledge that their happiness and success, is indeed in their hands. Whether the training is geared to social or business protocol, self-improvement is nothing to fear.
